Summary

Would have removed “near-zero emission and zero-emission vehicles” from existing weight requirements and instead would have allowed a weight exceedance for “natural gas vehicle or electric battery vehicles."  Existing law authorizes near-zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles to exceed gross weight limits by up to 2,000 pounds on federal interstate highways and State roadways; and zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles to exceed gross weight limits by up to 2,000 pounds on California roadways.  Was not heard in Assembly Transportation Committee.
